How to prevent same entity to be created again, but with _2 after name?

I somehow keep fiddling with my HA (currently on a RPi4). I’m using the ‘manual installation’.

Far too often, i end up with entity-names with a _2 as last 2 characters in the name. Somehow an entity i already had configured, gets created again.

I end up going through all YAML files to see where i referenced that entity (mainly lovelace, automation, groups, configuration), and change all references to include the _2.

Any tips how i can prevent this, or what the best way is to deal with this?
